Invited to the show "Live From Tirana" was the famous singer-songwriter Alban Kondi, an artist who has produced many successful musical projects for the Albanian market. He spoke about his most recent achievements, where we can mention the song "Ta Dije" by Armaldo Kllogjeri and the song "99 Sfida" by Aurela Gaçe. Regarding the latter, Albani said:
"First, I want to say that Aurela is a special nature, apart from vocals, it is a very challenging and interesting nature. It is enough to listen to his album and you understand that he has color as an artist and expresses different messages. Such a song needs a strong character and is specially created for him. My style of creation fits the artist, not me, in this case the songwriter or producer. The song was born while we were sitting and discussing the challenges we face in life and how much we manage to talk about them, that's how we thought and conceived this whole masterpiece. Motivational songs, about life, about challenges are missing in the market and people don't talk about them anymore. These days there are more ballads. We suffer a lot from love, we love it. Little but sure that when talking about love, which is the most beautiful emotion, it is to hit the public. But they are missing and it is necessary for the artists to express it. Aurela in the studio is challenging, demanding, not satisfied with little, direct. She is an artist. What he feels, he does. Generally, artists stay within a frame, so this is what makes Aurela unique, as she challenges herself".
A song dedicated to all girls and mothers was the surprise that Armaldo Kllogjeri did this Saturday in "Big Brother VIP", on the occasion of International Women's Day. With "Ta dije", Maestro sang to the residents of the house, his wife Aida and all the girls in the audience. The artist thanked "Big Brother" for the opportunity, Alban Kondi, who created the music and lyrics, and Shpëtimin Saraçi. Asked about this experience, the singer-songwriter said:
"The contact came through Salvation. Armaldo had expressed the desire to perform a song. There was a request for a duet with Valbona Mema. Time was limited. When we finish the song, the next day Valbona leaves the house and it is not realized as a project. That song was designed for two characters and it can't come out any other way. We had a day and a half and we had nothing. I saw him as a tenor like Andrea Bocelli, but considering that it is a show full of colors, we built a manly thing based on this stream. We went and recorded it at the Confession Room. It was as if we were going to enter the American Embassy and it was recorded for no more than 2 hours. I have not met Arbana, but we received thanks from the entire staff. Armaldo was very emotional and even cried. He had heard it twice before as a demo, but he felt the lack of not having his own time to work. It happened quickly, in record time."
Also, with this undisputed success that Albani had with the realization of this song, there were also some 'evil mouths', which opened the news that this song was stolen by someone else, because of the similarity they had.
Alban Kondi clarified all these discussions once and for all, declaring:
"It's just not stolen. There is no similar grade. The melody line and lyrics are authentic, not from her, but from any song. Stylistics yes! It is based on that Greek song, but it is also taken from our Arbëre song "Moj e Bukura More (Lule Lule). It has a specific style and is not very common, so it would stand out if we had taken it, as neither Youtube, nor Shazam, nor other platforms would allow it. I have contacted the producer of that Greek song, as I know him from the concert that took place a few months ago here in Albania, and he told me that some other people had also taken it to him, but he started laughing and called it crazy".
Further, when asked about his next projects and the surprises he will bring us in the future, Albani said:
"I will soon launch my new song, which I sing, create, everything. I have never touched this thing before. We are working on a new song by Aurela, off the album. It is the track that follows the album. With Lorena, we are nearing the finalization of the album. Fabi is coming back with a song that he sings alone. With the group, we left something half-baked".
